That's cool you figured it out!

Obviously, the BE-500 is newer than the 300, but in your experience, which one did you prefer just for the sheer "glee" of hacking?

Up to now the BE-500 because of the landscape hack. (I haven't really figured out how to get it fully working on the BE-300 - as I'm reporting, there are still major bugs to work out. And I'm not a programmer, so I haven't the foggiest how to work them out. ) The extra colors available for the outer case don't hurt either.

does that Kai RotateScreen work?

Obviously you know more about this stuff than I - just thinking of ideas

I didn't see that program in the SCL

As I recall, that requires a higher version of .NET Compact Framework than 1.0, and only a limited number of .NET CF 1.0 apps even work on the BE.

I found this
https://web.archive.org/web/20090207180921/http://mabware.cocolog-nifty.com/beta/2008/12/silentrotator-b.html

But it looks like it's a command line tool and only for WM2003 or higher.

and no binary download available - but still a little interesting:

SilentRotator build 0.9.9.0 Screen rotation command line tool

This is a command line tool that rotates the screen - switching between portrait and landscape.

Work silently without sending loud messages. ^^)

Although it can be used alone, it is intended to be used with a launcher or key assignment software.

It works on Windows Mobile 2003 or later, regardless of Pocket PC, Smartphone, Professional, or Standard.
However, some devices may not support screen rotation. (X02HT etc.) In that case, nothing will happen even if you run it.

Download SilentRotator.0990.CAB (6.5K)
How to use

SilentRotator
Rotates the screen to the device default orientation. If it's vertical, make it horizontal; if it's horizontal, make it vertical.
SilentRotator /R
Rotates in the right-handed (=right side) direction. If it's vertical, make it horizontal; if it's horizontal, make it vertical.
SilentRotator /L
Rotates in the left-handed (=left) direction. If it's vertical, make it horizontal; if it's horizontal, make it vertical.
SilentRotator /0
Set to the default state (rotation angle 0 degrees).
SilentRotator /90
Rotate it 90 degrees (=right-handed landscape mode).
SilentRotator /180
Rotate it 180 degrees (=upside down). (There are some devices that do not support cursor key operations, so there is not much benefit ^^
SilentRotator /270
Rotate it 270 degrees (left-handed landscape mode).

Once installed, there will be a shortcut in the program folder with no options.
A shortcut with each option will be created in the installation folder (usually "\Program Files\SilentRotator".
However, if the installation destination is a memory card, etc., shortcuts in the installation destination folder are invalid.


By the way, was there ever an SDK for the BE-300 or BE-500 for EVT3?

Interesting find. Too bad the download link is dead. I found a live page on SilentRotator, though, and not surprisingly it's strictly for Windows Mobile 5 and later:

http://www.mabware.jp/silentrotator/

Clearly it was just a command-line-based utility to call functions already supported by those OS versions. In fact, the page linked above says that it will only work on devices that support display rotation.

I'm not aware of an SDK targeting the BE. It seemed like there never was much interest in developing for the BE due to its unusual file system and proprietary installation format (.cbea files instead of CAB files). And I don't suspect Microsoft was particularly happy about Casio using a less-than-barebones version of CE in order to avoid the need for a full license. In the end I think it was Casio's loss since, as we've seen, it would've been easy to adapt the full OS to the device.

Actually, there was a CASIO SDK that was targeting BE-500. (I can't seem to locate a live file at the moment, but maybe if you dig for it it's out there somewhere).

Somebody's Japanese site about a remote debugger he made (aside from CASIO's): http://www.neko.ne.jp/~freewing/software/cassiopeia/

Maybe it will open new doors.

Good luck.

@stingraze : thanks for your help! You are quite the sleuth - you always find information I could never find on my own

@CE Geek : ugh I wish I could help you with the rotate issue

It looks like I found the Casio BE-300 SDK for eMbedded Visual Tools 3.0
Here's the readme:
Show spoiler...
1. Release File List
[SDK002200]
CASIO_BE300.exe: SDK for "Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0" (a
self-extracting executable file)
SDK Module and Component.xls: A list of a module and components.
SDK Installation Guide: This file
________________________
2. Installation of SDK
1. Install "Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0" (EVC) on the Desktop
PC. This can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/developer/default.asp
2. Uncompress CASIO_BE300.exe.
Run CASIO_BE300.exe on the PC on which you have installed "Microsoft eMbedded
Visual C++ 3.0" (CASIO_BE300.exe is a self-extracting executable file). This will
install the CASIO BE-300 SDK so that applications can be built for the BE-300 using EVC.

4. Porting of Applications Developed by Other CE Versions
-- Rebuild all applications using this SDK.
-- Applications built for CE 2.10 are supported.
-- PocketPC(CE 3.00) applications need to be modified because not all
of the PocketPC APIs are supported. (i.e. aygshell.h, aygshell.lib
are not included in this SDK)
-- Applications built for CE 2.11 have not been checked on this
platform.
-- Applications built for CE 2.12 are not supported.

I also found a CE.net SDK for the BE-300 as well for use with eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0
Show spoiler...
3.1 .NET Compact Framework

l Upgraded BE-300 are not supporting ".NET Compact Framework". Please develop by eMbedded C++ 4.0.
3.2 Online Help

l Even if the on line help of API only for BE-300 installs SDK, it is not displayed on a help of eMbedded Visual C++4.0. Please look at CasioAPIs.chm of the following folder.

CASIO_BE300SDK0426\Documents

%InstallDrive%:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce400\CASIO_BE300NET\Help

The same file exists in two folders.
3.3 MFC Library

l There is no plan to support MFC4.0. We support only MFC 3.0


3.4 Function

l Although it usually returned only in the error when it was BE-300 the case where an inaccurate pointer was passed to LocalFree, free, etc., if it is “BE-300 Upgrade”, an exception will occur (it does not catch in a function).

It is necessary to correct in BE-300 Upgrade.

l With an editing box, a problem is in drug processing from the pen-on by the double-tap.

l Since processing of API changes, value, such as a stack, changes. Operation to unfixed value changes.

l A message may come also in SipGetInfo function.

There is an example which the stack size which this uses increased and became stack overflow.

l Return value may differ from BE-300.

For example, GetExitCodeThread()

BE-300

: A success is “TRUE” and failure is “FALSE”.

BE-300 Upgrade

: Success is “value other than 0” and failure is “0”.

(A motion of “BE-300 Upgrade” is right in function specification.)

l Character transformation is carried out when not setting up the time range in SysDateTimePick32 control (1900. it is used in 1.1 to 2999.12.31).

If the tap of the lower arrow ? of SIP is carried out in an A.D. partial input, it will become maximum (it is 2999 etc. when it sets up in 2999), and a vertical arrow key will become invalid.

Please be invalid and avoid a vertical arrow key.



@C:Amie - this all looks legit - I also virus scanned them both. File names are "BE-300 .NET SDK.English.zip" and "BE-300 SDK.ver.002200.English.zip"
Can we add these to the Download Centre? The ONLY issue was I found them on an .ru abandonware site. Reddit sources seem to indicate this site was good though. I won't link it here on the forums but if you Google search the SDK you'll find it here (I'll PM you, stingraze, and CE Geek)
